Nursery protection from Vine Weevil with Nemasys-L
Now is the time to begin applying Nemasys-L to control Black Vine Weevil larvae.
Print28 February 2019
Left untreated Black Vine Weevil larvae can cause serious crop damage. They are one of the most serious pests seen on ornamental nurseries and are a constant threat as adults can arrive on site from any number of sources – including bought-in plants – and will then establish a population.
Once on site, Black Vine Weevil numbers can build rapidly over one or two years, and if not kept in-check, can cause considerable damage to nurseries.
Nemasys-L is a curative treatment of microscopic nematode worms, that once applied will seek out Vine Weevil larvae in the soil and compost to enter and release a small pellet of bacteria to kill the host after a few days.
The parasitic worms begin to reproduce and release several thousand more juvenile infected nematodes able to find and further kill weevil grubs.
Other benefits of Nemasys-L include:
- Active at low temperature (5-15C) providing control when pest is active.
- Simply applied as a drench or spray.
- No pest resistance issues.
- Compatible with many chemical pesticides or integrated pest management (IPM) systems.
- Natural product – safe for crops, users, consumers, and the environment.
